The Southeastern Conference coaches got together and threw a bunch of names in a hat and have placed their votes: Ole Miss will finish third in the SEC West behind the LSU Tigers and the Texas A&M Aggies.
Florida is picked to win the East, with LSU being the favorite to win the league title. The Rebs received just five first-place votes, coming in behind Bama, Tennessee, LSU, Florida and Georgia in that order.
This is high praise for a team that is replacing its Friday starter, closer and All-SEC catcher and centerfielder. But, the counter argument that Mike Bianco and the Rebels have is a plethora of top talent coming in with the No.
